Sky Column: Shaking the Shadow
25’ x 10’ x 10’
Hand Pulled Glass Fibers
2022-23
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, TX
A bouncing marble compresses on impact. A window bends under wind load. A wine glass flexes as a fingertip raises its tone. A fiber-optic cable coils on a spool before it's laid across an ocean floor. These encounters are so familiar we rarely notice them.
I bring them into view, pulling fibers a mile long and setting sheets of glass closer together than a wavelength of light.
What appears empty is measurable.
What appears rigid moves.
What appears fixed is still traveling.
